Which outcome results when subsurface permafrost undergoes thawing?

A)Methane release accelerates global warming
B)Vegetation density increases carbon sequestration
C)Albedo increases, reflecting solar radiation
D)Soil erosion reduces sediment transport

💡 Explanation

Thawing permafrost releases trapped organic matter. Microbial decomposition via methanogenesis generates methane; because methane is a potent greenhouse gas, radiative forcing increases, therefore global warming accelerates rather than being mitigated by vegetation changes or albedo effects.
